What you should know before applying for rebates:
- Rebates often require reservations and permits – Most rebate programs require you to reserve your rebate before you make your appliance upgrade. In addition, most programs also require you to apply for the requisite permits from the city or county in which you live and to provide proof of permit application to claim the rebate.
- Combined rebates and tax credits cannot exceed total project costs – Your rebate amount will be adjusted if your project cost is less than the rebate.
- Be sure your project meets all requirements to be eligible for all programs – Rebate programs may have different rules, including the ability to stack with other programs, equipment eligibility, contractor requirements, and rebate applications.
- Confirm rebate amounts and availability with the appropriate program administrator – The information in the image and table below reflects rebate programs as of the date listed above the table and may not be fully exhaustive. Rebate amounts and availability are subject to change at any time by the program administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rebates can I stack?
Generally, rebates are stackable as long as they come from separate funding sources. The following programs do not stack for the same technology, meaning you must select between either program:
- Golden State Rebates and California Energy Smart Homes cannot be stacked together
- IRA HEEHRA and IRA HOMES cannot be stacked together
Please consult with the program administrator for additional rules and eligibility.
How can the Inflation Reduction Act help me go all-electric at home and on the road?
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a federal bill that includes $370 billion in clean energy initiatives, including tax credits for electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. Part of this funding is going directly to help residents go all-electric at home and on the road.
The IRA includes both federal tax credits and state-administered rebates for efficient electric appliance upgrades (HEEHRA and HOMES).
- Federal Tax Credits for Home Improvement have criteria and annual limits for certain technology. Use the U.S. Department of Energy’s Tax Credit Product Lookup Tool to confirm that your appliance meets the tax credit criteria.
- The HEEHRA Rebate program (now available) provides point-of-sale rebates to help low-income and moderate-income households (up to 150% of area median income) go electric. Rebate amounts depend on income levels and technology.
- The HOMES Rebate Program (coming soon) is focused on energy efficiency, with rebates ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 in total. Rebate amounts will vary for individual households based on income level and the amount of energy usage reduced with the home upgrades.
It is important to note that the HEEHRA and HOMES rebate programs cannot be stacked together. For households who qualify for both, the HEEHRA rebates will generally be more financially beneficial.
The IRA also includes federal tax credits for new and used electric vehicles. Search for eligible vehicles using the U.S. Department of Energy’s tool.
Why are some Inflation Reduction Act rebates not available right now?
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a 10-year plan, and the rebate programs and tax credits are scheduled to roll out throughout the upcoming years. As noted above, some IRA rebates are available now, with many more coming soon. You can also check the California Energy Commission, the state administrator for IRA rebates, for more information.
Will the change in federal administration affect the Inflation Reduction Act, specifically the rebates for heat pumps, solar and battery tax credits, EVs, etc.?
It’s too early to know how the 2025 change in federal administration will impact the Inflation Reduction Act and tax credits and rebates for electrification. Repealing all of or a portion of the Inflation Reduction Act will take an act of Congress. SVCE is committed to its mission to reduce the use of fossil fuels by providing carbon-free, affordable, and reliable electricity and innovative programs for our community. SVCE reserves and finances are strong, and the SVCE Board of Directors remains committed to providing robust programs for our customers including whole-home electrification support, multi-family EV charging, and income-qualified EV rebates.
Do federal executive orders affect SVCE rebates and programs?
No – SVCE program funds are not tied to federal allocations.
